The French version of this page calls him a diplomatic counselor and sherpa as of May 16, 2007, but that does not seem right. Both Le Monde ("structure inspirée de ce qui existe aux Etats-Unis") and The Economist ("American-style national security adviser") treat him as an American-style National Security Advisor.
